As Bill said - you have no soul - lol.

I dont think I would fancy a days fly fishing with a cane rod either. Teasing a bait in front of a feeding carp with a cane rod - now thats more like it.

Why not try cane for a bit of stalking? Then when you hook a carp you will understand the difference.

I use a Chapman 500 and old Mitchell for a majority of my surface fishing. Nothing like using split cane as you can feel the rod bending right through the handle.

for close range stalking I use a G L Brandreth rod and Trudex pin - again great fun and your first decent fish on a pin is one you'll always remember.

I have found that using such responsive tackle only enhances my overall carp fishing experience.

For you carbon fiends out there - try a split cane rod. I promise you a different experience and one you wont forget.
